Obdi plugin to do rsync backups with compression, deduplication and snapshotting using
zfs.

Contents

Obdi rsyncbackup is a free and open source backup solution for Centos
servers. It uses the Unix command, rsync, to do the actual backup and
requires the open source and free Obdi to work since it is an Obdi plugin.

The Obdi server can be set up on Centos 6 or Centos 7, and the backups
can be saved on that server or a different one - in the latter case an obdi
worker is required on the backup server.

When the backup server is set up with the zfs filesystem, highly performant file
deduplication and compression can be achieved, potentially saving a huge amount
of disk space.

Furthermore, backups can be used to create Amazon AWS volumes, snapshots,
AMI's or instances, but only Centos 6 is supported for AWS integration. It should
not be too much work to support Centos 7 however.
